God already knows of his victory

Proof is the achievement of the promise that God has kept for you.

We need to be ready constantly, the Apostle Paul said not to disturb the burning fire, "Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery fire that is in your midst, destined to prove you, as if something extraordinary were happening to you." I Peter 4: 12

That burning fire that rises in our midst is something we can not escape. We all have problems that must be passed on, there is not one person in the world who does not have a problem.

Even though we are Christians, we go through problems, struggles, difficulties, trials and various divergences. But there are people who overcome because they are strong, persevering in Christ and always smiling. Everyone goes through adversity, struggles, trials. But the dose of things that fall on the person is the same, but what changes are the different spheres. "Everything happens equally to all: the same happens to the righteous and the perverse; to the good, to the pure, and to the unclean; both to him who sacrifices and to him who does not sacrifice; to the good as to the sinner; to him that sweareth as he that sweareth the oath. "Ecclesiastes 9: 2. But some people can overcome with more ease, certain problems. We go through difficulties every day, and each one will be taken to its limit. Maybe my limit is not a problem for you or your limit is not a problem for me. But, we understand that each one, in a different way, will go through some difficulty. And it is no use to despair, for these adversities happen, because it is to happen. Events will come upon us. But this is normal, not something to be surprised. For when we are put to the test, we must not despair. God already knows our victory. The ordeal is only a mechanism, so that you may legally conquer the promise that God has kept for you. The Lord does not make you go through difficulties to see if you can or not, but to overcome your adversity yourself. A living example of this is Jesus, who was to the right of God the Father, who was sent to Earth to be tested, that a human being could be born and live without doing the will of the enemy. With this, He would have the promise, the name above all names, in the heavens and the earth. However, in the name of Jesus, every knee would bend and He would become Lord of Lords "and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:11. There will always be a process to win our victories. "But Jesus answered, Ye know not what ye ask. Can you drink the cup I am about to drink? They said: We can. And he said unto them, Ye shall drink my cup; but to sit to my right and to my left is not my duty to grant it; but it is for those to whom he is prepared by my Father. "Matthew 20: 22-23 It is not hopping steps that will be won to your victory. We need to go through fights so that we can reap our reward with great honor and merit. There is no promise that can not be won, however hard it may be. Whoever is loved lives under the promise. May God bless your day and be strong in passing through difficulties!
